auto-syncing Windows time with time server 1

[Shrp]

I'm trying to use the Windows NTP client w32time to sync a WinXP machine's time with some time servers of ours. I followed the instructions at:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314054

But if you set the time off by 5-15 minutes, it won’t sync up with the time server. You have to do a:

DOS> w32tm /resync /rediscover

Any ideas how to make this happen automatically?

Thanks!

Adjust Interval

"The time interval of the update is set at 7 days. This can be changed in the registry:

1.Start the Registry Editor
2.Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SYSTEM \ CurrentControlSet \ Services \ W32Time \ TimeProviders \ NtpClient \
3.Double-click the SpecialPollInterval value, and change the Base of the Value data to Decimal
4.Now change the Value data to the time interval you desire, noting that the time is given in seconds (so for 1 day the value would be 86400, while the default (7 days) is 604800
5.Close the registry editor"
